The 2016 NFL Draft starts today which means for the next few hours football fans will be focused on checking out the latest mock drafts to see which team will draft who, especially in the first round.

The draft, held in Chicago, begins tonight at 8 P.M. Eastern with the first round and continues until Saturday, April 30.

First rounders are almost undoubtedly including, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz. The two have been stated to be the most sought for quarterbacks, but after that news analysts have split opinions of who will draft who.

Since the Los Angeles Rams traded with the Tennessee Titans for No. 1 overall draft pick, it's rumored that Cal's Goff will go to the Rams, though the team's general manager, Less Snead, and head coach, Jeff Fisher, have kept from hinting at any specific picks, reports say.

"I do think both of the players are very good, and both are going to have very good careers," Snead said, according to the Daily News.

"But I can tell you that we wanted to get to No. 1 so that we would have a choice, and be able to pick one of the two," he continued. "But in terms of pressure, just because there's two (candidates), I don't think that's anything added. We wanted to get there to have that choice."

The other almost guaranteed draft is that Wentz (North Dakota State) will go to the Philadelphia Eagles who have the No. 2 overall pick.

Other first round draft picks are hard to estimate. Yet mock drafts, like Washington Post's, predicts that Jalen Ramsey from Florida State, Ezekial Elliot from Ohio State, and Laremy Tensil from Ole Miss are guaranteed to be picked in the first round.

CBS Sports states that actually the "real" draft starts from the No. 3 pick from the Chargers. The San Diego Chargers never really needed a quarterback so weren't looking towards the Goff or Wentz.

Be sure to find out the results tonight 8 P.M. Eastern.
